I don’t have acne, but I’m still prone to a blemish or two, usually at very specific moments during the month. I can plan ahead. It just so happens, this was a convenient time to try it – AND two crunchistas asked about acne remedies recently. Perfect timing all around!
A Couple of Quick Notes: Don’t use this if, of course, you have a sensitivity to aspirin. The aspirin provides a bit of salicylic acid, which is in a the majority of store-bought acne products. It can be harsh and drying, if left on for a great deal of time. Don’t use this mask if you have dry or sensitive skin. And be aware of sun exposure directly after using it, as salicylic acid can increase sensitivity to the sun.
The aspirin will also really, really help relieve redness and any pain that may be associated with your acne. But do not use it if you have the flu, as there are minute connections between aspirin use and Reye’s syndrome development, if aspirin is taken while you’re ill. Use this mask once or twice a week – no more. It will dry out your skin if you use it too often!
Acne-Busting Aspirin-Honey Mask
- 6 aspirin tablets ( i used DISPRIN)
- 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1-1/2 Tbsp honey
Dissolve the aspirin tabs in the apple cider vinegar for about 3 minutes. Stir well. Add the honey to the mixture and stir again. Apply to a clean face, scrubbing very gently as you cover your whole face (avoiding eyes). Let the mask sit for 15 minutes. Be careful, because it drips a little! Keep a towel handy to wipe off little drips. The mask will not dry, per se, but it will become pretty sticky. Rinse well with warm water, scrubbing gently again as you rinse. The aspirin also serves as a magnificent exfoliator.
Do try and let me know your experience...
Till then bye and love yourself...😘😘😘😘
